Ye Xiao stole a glance at Yu Hanche's increasingly cold expression and braced himself to make a suggestion.
"Why don't you release the Bai Yao Star Master? He could resume his duties at the Interstellar Prison Mansion, and you could focus on escorting the Dark Venerable to the Ultimate Land."
"Bai Yao?" Yu Hanche sneered, and the temperature in the room instantly dropped. "He can forget about ever seeing the light of day again."
Ye Xiao flinched. "But the Dark Venerable seems to… care a lot about him."
"You've already made a bad impression on her because of Sheng Tianze. If you also—" Ye Xiao forced himself to swallow the rest of his words.
The man's scarlet eyes narrowed dangerously. "Hm?"
Ye Xiao tremblingly held out the Scar Removal Cream again. "A-Admiral, the cream?"
"What I want," the man's slender fingers brushed over the bite mark on his neck, his voice deepening, "is a medicine that makes this mark… deeper."
Ye Xiao's bird-like eyes instantly went wide. "...Huh?!"
